Why is it you can purchase a minimum of $2.50 through the client and through the Quick Buy feature, but when you want to deposit a weird amount (between $2.50 and $5.00) The site won't let you because it's not at least $5.00?

Summed up: Why in some links the minimum deposit is $2.50, but though the site it's $5.00?


And yes, I try to limit how much I spend here.

*To add to the situation: Trying to pay through Paypal, and very unfamiliar with the new system as I usually purchase through the viewer, so...Just as a sidenote.

Keep in mind that for every L$ buy transaction you pay 30 cents as a transaction fee.

I don't know how much you actually buy, but if you were to buy $2.50 worth say 10 times in a month then you'd waste $3 out of that $25 on transaction fees.

If you spent the same amount across 2 L$ buys it would only be 60 cents out of $25. Same total amount in US$, but around L$600 more for you to spend :).

It all depends on how much you actually end up buying but if you're repeatedly buying amounts that aren't that much larger than the transaction fee you might want to reconsider.
